  • Here are a few tips to consider.
  • Start Small
  • Instead of targeting a million standards, focus on a few power standards.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Ensure authenticity and public audience, but keep it focused.
  • As you get begin to master PBL as a teacher, you can then use technology to manage the process. But as a PBL beginner, focus on the PBL process itself.
  • Once you plan it, you're free to differentiate instruction and meet the immediate needs of your students
  • Limited Technology
  • Plan Now One of the challenges of PBL, but also one of the joys, is the planning process.
  • Know the Difference Between PBL and Projects
  • With PBL, the project itself is the learning (1), not the "dessert" at the end. If you are doing projects in the classroom, you may or may not be doing PBL. In fact, many teachers think they are doing PBL, but are actually doing projects. Again, in PBL you are teaching through the project, not teaching and then doing the project.

PeerCoaching peer_ed edutopia 21stCentury PD

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Welcome back to our series on becoming a 21st century school or district! For the earlier installments of this series, please scroll to the bottom of this page. Previously we focused a lot of attention around the 4Cs: Critical thinking Communication Collaboration Creativity
  • Another strategy for using collaboration to transform PD is "peer coaching."
  • Reflections How would you rate the quality of professional development in your school or district? Does your PD challenge your educators to: Think critically and reflect deeply on their practice? Communicate and collaborate effectively? Bring innovative and creative practices to their classrooms? Have you established professional learning communities? Are they focused on the 4C's? Conclusion We have two major recommendations on PD: Be sure your PD exhibits the characteristics of the 4C's; Focus your PD on how teachers teach and assess the 4C's.
